omiting a bit and calming down, he suddenly flipped over and roared loudly: "The Yang army is collapsing!">"Form a battle line with me!"Jiang Wang was the first to respond to the military formation, s...The sky turned from bright to dark in an instant, and the Qixing Valley suddenly entered night.

While the people of the Tian clan in the valley did not come forward to maintain order, because they had no time to be alarmed. Darkness just happened, and light came on at once.

The light source came from a giant circular area in the center of the valley, with individual spotlights gradually brightening.

One, two, three... A dense scattering of light circles, rapidly covering this vast circular space.

Each aperture can accommodate an adult standing within it. Moreover, there is sufficient distance between each aperture.

There are a total of one hundred and eight apertures.

Jiang Wang understood clearly. The total number of places entering the Qixinglou Secret Realm was one hundred and eight, also known as one hundred and eight star positions. They were divided into thirty-six Tiangan positions and seventy-two Dizha positions.

And what is seen before one's eyes is the aperture of stars.

Those who have obtained the qualification to enter the Qixinglou Secret Realm, step into the Star Position and wait for the Qixinglou starlight to guide them.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Where there are rankings, there is competition.

Thirty-six Heavenly Stems and seventy-two Earthly Branches, whoever comes first or last will naturally have their own place.

The previous Qi Xing Lou qualification competition was also a preliminary determination of the order.

By now, most people should know their own positions.

In the pitch-black valley, mysterious orbs appeared one after another, illuminating Qixing Valley like a dream, and capturing everyone's attention.

The star formation suddenly opened, and before many people could react, a figure walked forward.

The person with long, flowing hair strode forward without hesitation. In a few steps, they entered the largest and brightest circle of light, occupying the position of Tian Kui Star.

Turning back to face everyone, he remained impassive.

It was precisely Lei Zhàn Qían.

Amongst the cultivators gathered in Qixing Valley, there were figures of both renown and intrigue. There was Fang Chong, a powerful figure from the Four Seas Merchant Alliance with years of experience, as well as Li Fengyao, the direct daughter of the prestigious Li family of Shímen. Even Prince Jiu of the Great Qi royal family, Jiang Wuxie, made an appearance. His Thunder Calculation remained unmatched, confidently stepping onto the Tiankui Star position, radiating an aura that truly seemed to dominate all others.

Regarding the Seven Star Building, people often discuss the first celestial general, which is the Tian Kui star position.

Generally, when leaving the Qixinglou Secret Realm, the person who appears at the Tiankui Star position is considered to have the greatest harvest from this Qixinglou Secret Realm and is regarded as the leader of this expedition.

Of course, when entering the Qixing Tower, those who stand at the position of Tian Kui Xing are also tacitly assumed to have a greater advantage after entering the Qixing Tower.

By now, everyone has a certain understanding of where they should be. For those who are more cautious, it's generally better to stay behind the scenes.

When the order of ranking is defaulted, a wrong positioning could lead to being attacked after entering Qixinglou. It's even possible that one would be immediately targeted and stopped outside the secret realm.

Lei Zhanqian took the lead, strode into Tiankui Star's position, and didn't care about other people's gazes.

Jiang Wuxie's raised lips dropped, clearly in an unpleasant mood, but he didn't speak.

Lei Zhanyan, as the heaven's pride of the Lei family, the maternal clan of the eleventh prince Jiang Wuqi, was naturally Jiang Wuqi's most powerful ally. He was also naturally on the opposite side of Jiang Wuxie.

The struggle for the throne, no one could yield. No matter how harmonious the princes and princesses of Qi seemed to be on the outside, the fundamental contradictions could not be eliminated. On the contrary, those princes and princesses who had no hope of ascending the throne were able to get along better emotionally.

Jiang WuXie had not spoken a word to Lei Zhan Qian since entering. The two hadn't even exchanged glances, which was a manifestation of their opposition.

Si Hai Shangmeng's Fang Chonglue waited a few breaths and laughed, "If no one takes this Tian Gang Star position, I'll go for it"

Although he asked the crowd, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Wuxie. It was obvious that he wanted to give way and sell it well, not wanting to steal the limelight from the Ninth Prince.

Tiangang Star is the second of the thirty-six Tiangang stars, only after Tian Kui Star.

Jiang Wu Xie curled her lips and turned to Li Feng Yao, saying: “Elder Sister Li, you please go first.”

Li Fengyao was also unrestrained, only saying to Jiang Wang: "I'm leaving first. Take care."

Then it immediately fell to the position of Tiangang Star.

She held her ground.

This time, Jiang Wu Xie took a deliberate glance at Jiang Wang, but still said nothing. He followed Li Feng Yao closely and stepped into the Tianji Star Position.

Fang Chong behaved with neither haste nor pushiness, remaining calm and collected. After the three individuals had taken their stances, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards them all before stepping onto the Tianxian Star position.

Inside the Qixing Valley, many cultivators chose their star positions and stood ready. Many also paid attention to Jiang Wang's choice because of Li Fengyao's favoritism towards him.

Even several people had the thought of pushing him down, making him embarrassed, and taking his spot.

But only a young man from the Tian clan walked out, waving to Jiang: "Young Master Jiang, over here!"

Jiang Wang's position was directly allocated to him by the Tian family from within their existing quota of twenty. As for powerful inner court figures like Li Fengyao, they could bypass the competition and secure a spot directly. Lei Zhankuan and Fang Chong were examples of this.

Of course, if all the people who came from Qixinglou were In-Palace Realm powerhouses, or even if more than half of them were In-Palace Realm powerhouses, they wouldn't have such treatment.

The content inside the tags is simply a paragraph break. So, after translation:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Overall, the competition for spots in the Qixinglou Secret Realm is relatively fair and there are not too many disputes.

The young man greeting Jiang Wang was named Tian Chang. He was the leader of the Tian family's Qixing Building secret realm team this time.

The fixed twenty positions in the Tian family are occupied by stars from Di Gou Xing, the last-ranked star in the Dizha ranking, to Di Quan Xing. In short, they occupy the last twenty stellar positions.

Among them, Jiang Wang was given the seventh-to-last position on the Di Xing, which wasn't harsh, nor was it particularly lenient.

In short, someone who gets into the Qixing Building secret realm through connections doesn't need to invest too much.

However, when they saw Jiang Wang calmly blend into the Tian family's ranks, many people's gazes changed.

Part of the people no longer considered him a formidable opponent, and more people developed contempt for him.

Such a wastrel... how could he be looked upon favorably by Li Fengyao

A number of cultivators gradually occupied the star positions, occasionally friction arose, but in the face of the powerful figures led by Tian Shi stationed here, they all restrained themselves.

In the end, eighty of the one hundred and eight star positions were vacant. These eight individuals failed to arrive at Qixing Valley in time due to various reasons and withdrew from the competition early.

The twenty positions of the Tian family remained unchanged because of the vacancies, so the eight vacant star positions were filled from the twenty-first Di Gu star to the last empty position before Di Ji star.

This time, Tian Huanzhang was in charge of Qixing Valley. He is the current head of the Tian clan's uncle, his seniority is very high, and of course, his strength is unquestionable.

When everyone had their star positions set, he pointed at the sky and connected seven dots.

Those with a discerning eye could notice that each point he tapped corresponded to the position of a star in the Big Dipper.

The Big Dipper is also known as Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tian Ji, Tian Quan, Yu Heng, Kai Yang, and Yao Guang.

And in the pitch-black night sky above the valley, seven points of light appeared one after another.

Right in the valley, it directly points to the Big Dipper, guiding its power to suppress other stellar brilliance. This is something only someone at least at the outer courtyard realm can do!

Seven points of light grew brighter and more dazzling.

It formed a jade spoon shape, suspended in the sky.

And then the jade ladle tilted slightly, and an endless stream of starlight cascaded down like water.

It was as if someone from the heavens above used a jade ladle to scoop up a spoonful of starlight and pour it down to earth.

Looking up at the heavens, people only see a myriad of stars cascading down like a celestial waterfall.
